About me
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Louisiana with 10 years of experience in the mental and behavioral health field. I have worked in various settings including residential, outpatient, and home & community based. This simply means that I have a broad range of experience from severe mental illness to mild life adjustments.
I provide a very laid back approach to counseling a believe that you, the client, are in control of your goals and treatment outcome--I am simply a tool to help you reach your fullest potential. I chose this profession because one of my favorite things in life is leading people to growth and success. I typically use a Cognitive Behavioral and Solution-Focused approach to therapy. I am EMDR trained which is often a powerful approach for trauma as it doesn’t require you to detail experiences.
Seeking help can be difficult, and you've made a huge step toward success in being here. I look forward to hearing from you and leading you to growth and success in your life.
